GIA and EGL Certs

[Goldie]

Why is it that the majority of online vendors list their GIA certificates with their GIA certified diamonds, but do not do the same with their EGL certified diamonds?

I presume you are referring to the vendors that have in house stones - most of them list reports on their in house stones, and you have to ask them to obtain the reports on out of house stones. Most of the vendors I am familiar with carry GIA and AGS in house. The EGL reports are often not as strict. I for example posted an EGL Israel graded stone we bought that, when we took it to get it appraised, discovered it was off by two clarities and two colors - both in the wrong direction - the stone was worth thousands and thousands less than we paid

, so I suspect most of the vendors (esp the ones you will find through this website) will not generally carry egl stones in house.

Yes, the vast majority of EGL paper ends up in mall stores and is not sold online - there are not that many B2B listings for EGL either
